    So... do we have anyone here who is a conservationist (who has a 'field' job in conservation)? Wildlife conservation, habitat management, wildlife management, etc.?

    I know there are a lot who seem to be knowledgeable, passionate and acive but was wondering if anyone was working in this field?

    Thank you for asking an serious question that is on topic. It's refreshing whenever posts to threads like this stay on the subject.

    I'm not in conservation by occupation but my brother in law has worked many hard years in forest research and tree genetics. He can tell you stories about what's really going on their that might even turn the heads of the most cynical anti-environmentalists.

    The thread is for environmentalist to unite, not extremest to unite.

    Who are you to judge what people feel strongly about? Do people cry in church? Well, for some people around the world, a worship of nature/the natural environment is their religion. They can touch it, they can feel it, they can spend their lives in it. If one is to criticize these individuals, then one leaves themselves open for criticism of their religious beliefs.

    Well said, Whygohome.

    Maybe this looks hysterical and yes, a bit dramatic but really, there's plenty of good reason for weeping and sorrow. And to make fun of people have strong feeling like this, who mourn the loss of nature, well that says something. I'll let it go at that.

    I'm not usually a jealous man, but I can't help but be quite envious of Mr. Grimshaw.

    I saw this but was too disgusted to post it.
    The culprits should be the ones who have their genitals removed....while still alive.

    I just don't know what anyone can do to stop this. I am a pessimist on this issue. I'm in New York. What the hell can I do about this other than write letters?

    Sad

    i guess we can't go kill the pricks which is what they deserve. we don't know who did it and it is very far away. so yeah writing letters is a good idea. we can curse them as if witch doctors, yes/no?
